Wikipedia

I also contribute to Wikipedia occasionally. Mostly in cases where I notice that they are missing a topic that I am using in my academic work. Or if there is an article but it’s clearly lacking in quality I might end up rewriting the whole thing. Due to the nature of Wikipedia, some of the articles change quickly again after me and are truly collaborative texts. But others stay rather stable apart from links, corrections, and minor additions. These articles can still be considered largely my texts (as of Dec 2015):

blog and other miscellaneous texts

I have also written newspaper articles, reviews, and columns to Finnish newspapers since 1996. For example, when I was working as a graphic designer in the regional newspaper Satakunnan Kansa I had a regular column in their weekly supplement and occasionally wrote other pieces too. (One of my favourite assignments was reviewing the Finnish translation of Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta.)

Today, I mostly enjoy publishing those thoughts that are unfit for academic journals etc. here on my blog. For someone who started making their own photocopied ‘magazines’ when they were six, running a real publication – because that’s what a blog is – with a potentially global audience is irresistible. Especially when it’s just done for fun, without stressing about readership numbers or revenue generation.
